Travelling to the EURO 2016

Many roads lead to France - whether you travel fast by plane, relaxed by train or individually by car.

Safety

Please be aware: Due to the terrorist attacks in Paris and Brussels, the highest safety alert level was claimed in France. The authorities have been working for months on ensuring the best possible safety during the EURO for visitors and players. It is therefore of high importance that you always follow the instructions of police and security staff on-site.

Furthermore, due to the increased safety arrangements, occasional controls of luggage and persons at airports and train stations are possible. Make sure to always carry a passport or other identity card with you!

Please consider that due to the controls longer waiting times might occur. It is recommended to take an appropriate time buffer into account and to drive to the airport (or train station) early, in order to be able to pass through check-in and safety controls and to arrive to boarding or catch your train on time.

You will need your pass or identification card to enter the stadium as well (additional to your ticket). Please check the validity of your documents and get a new one if necessary.

If something happens while your travelling, e.g. your flight or train is late, overbooked or cancelled or your luggage is delayed or damaged, it is important that you know your rights. Please find everything you need in the following articles of ECC Austria:

ECC-Net: Travel App
